We murdered four more people in a boat today
U.S. southern Command: On October 4, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists. @DeptofWar

The entire White House press pool should protest Trump’s decision to kick out certain reporters by refusing — in solidarity — to leave the building tonight. It’s the People’s house, not his. We have a right to know what’s going on there.

I don't do much 9/11 posting, but I always think about Bretagne, the last surviving ground zero search and rescue dog. When they took her to be euthanized in 2016, first responders saluted as she entered the clinic. She was later carried out in a flag-draped casket. www.chron.com/news/houston...

MERZ: Only Ukraine decides who stands by its side and conducts negotiations, who negotiates for and with it. EU is not neutral third party here, nor is it a mediator. EU is on Ukraine’s side. And I repeat: we're not there yet, because Russia is not willing to negotiate for real.

When I was a student in Italy, in 1984, I delighted in defending President Reagan and the United States against their Italian and other detractors. Today, from Ancona, I say: Brava, Giorgia. And Trump is, among other things, a bald-faced liar.

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

True, but I'm not sure Bush Sr would have been the right man for the Cold War as it stood in 1980. He guided the USSR to a controlled implosion in 1991, for which he should be on Mt. Rushmore, and then Americans wanted a new best friend and kicked him out.
